Marinate about 8 hrs., turning meat occasionally. Remove armadillo and reserve marinade. Melt butter in deep skillet and brown armadillo pieces. Pour in marinade and bring to a boil. Stir in seasoning, cover and simmer until tender (about 1 - 1 1/4 hours.) Remove skillet from the fire and place armadillo pieces on a warmed platter. Mix mustard and cornstarch, then mix in cream. Return skillet to low heat and stir in this mixture a little at a time. Stir sauce until hot, but not boiling, and thickened. Pour sauce over armadillo. Serve with steamed rice. Quote Link to comment
Screaming Eagle Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I didn't even know they had 'dillers in Oz. Know how to clean an Armadillo? Well, you pick up it's little tail and .... Quote Link to comment
mich@el Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Originally Posted By: Leah Mich@el, Are these real recipes that you post, or are they joke ones?

Yep there real all right!! I'm a fanatical believer in having a wide variety of choices in my recipe options should the mood/need arise. The sauce is made from the liquor that the armadillo was simmered in, not another dillo in the sauce. Ihave also seen purses made from the shell/skin. Quote Link to comment
Vic303 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You DO know, that armadillos are a leprosy vector, right? Quote Link to comment

kappydell Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thank you for the recipe....I didn't know there were armadillos in Alabama, until I saw the road killed ones on the way home to Wis. Not very big ones, or maybe they were babies. Learning about all the new-to-me wildlife, and plants to add to my foraging calendars, since we plan on going there again next winter.
